Estimation of the seismicity rate changes caused by a major earthquake is based upon the assumption that the earthquake occurrence can be described by stochastic processes. Three stochastic models are applied to the data, i.e. the homogeneous Poisson model, the non-homogeneous Poisson model with two different rate functions, and the Autoregressive model AR(2). The two latter models seem to be adeq

Environmental research infrastructures designed for monitoring all domains of the Earth system (oceans, atmosphere, ecosystems, and solid earth) contribute to global observing systems and serve as crucial information sources for environmental scientists in their quest for understanding and interpreting the complex Earth System. The EU funded ENVRI-FAIR project builds on the Environmental Research

The purpose of this study was to develop deeper knowledge about physicians’ lived experiences of breaking bad news by identifying their common meanings and inter-relatedness along with their potential alignment with process-oriented and relational aspects. Based on the methodology of descriptive phenomenology, in-depth interviews were conducted with 22 physicians from a wide variety of specialties

Den politiska idéhistorien har traditionellt skildrats ur ett västligt perspektiv. Platon och Aristoteles är välkända gestalter, liksom Locke och Marx. Betydligt mindre kända är däremot Chanakya, Zhu Xi, Kang Youwei och Mulla Sadra, för att ta några exempel. Denna bok vidgar perspektivet och jämför den västerländska traditionen med den politiska idéutvecklingen i andra delar av världen, främst Ind

This article examines the British anarchist Guy Aldred’s involvement in the Indian revolutionary movement from 1909 to 1914 in order to reflect on solidarities and antagonisms between anarchism and anti-colonial movements in the early twentieth century. Drawing on Aldred’s writings, court material and intelligence reports, it explores, first, his decision to print the suppressed Indian nationalist

Myriader av forskare har befattat sig med andra världskriget och dess verkningar i Sverige och Henrik Berggren har inget nytt att komma med i den andra delen av en planerad trilogi. Även betraktad som en popularisering tillför den inte mycket. Berggrens ambition har varit att inte tadla och inte frikänna, men det är kanske inte möjligt att skriva om andra världskriget utan att ha de stora moralfrå

Focusing on visual and textual representations of squatting and women's resistances against apartheid in the comic book series Crossroads (2014-2016), this article examines how graphic history may enable a more nuanced understanding of anarchic resistances in the postcolonial context. A six-part comic series created by historian Koni Benson in collaboration with political cartoonists the Trantraal

Huvudpersonen i Martin Jonols bok om sin släkt är Gustav Johansson (1895–1971), en central gestalt inom den svenska kommunismen, som förblev Moskva trogen under alla kursändringar. Kännetecknande för dessa kretsar var hatet mot avfällingar och en närmast religiös tro på kommunismen i sovjetisk tappning. Man kan ha invändningar mot Jonols sätt att organisera berättelsen men interiörerna är rakt ige

Svensk nazism behandlas ofta som ett enhetligt fenomen. Det saknas i hög grad biografier över ledande företrädare som kan tydliggöra olikheterna mellan dem. Anna-Lena Lodenius har nu avhjälpt detta med avseende på den förste svenska nazistledaren Birger Furugård (1887–1961). Hos honom dominerade det tyska inflytandet, de italienska influenserna lyste med sin frånvaro.

With British and French imperial ambitions during the First World War in mind, this chapter returns to questions of terrorism, planned violence, and porous European borders to examine W. Somerset Maugham’s short story ‘Giulia Lazzari’ (Ashenden; or, the British agent. Doubleday, New York, 1928) alongside the revolutionary reminiscences of the Indian nationalists Virendranath ‘Chatto’ Chattopadhyay

Focusing on the period from 1870 to 1960, this chapter provides an overview of anarchist approaches to anti-imperialism, offering examples of collaborations, solidarities, antagonisms and syntheses between anarchists and anti-colonialists from across the British, Spanish, French and Portuguese colonial worlds and within the imperial metropoles in Europe. Alongside anti-colonial resistances to thes

This essay explores the so-called ‘Bomb Plot of Zürich’, in which the Indian nationalists Virendranath Chattopadhyaya and Abdul Hafiz of the Indian Independence Committee collaborated with the German Foreign Office and a band of Swiss-based Italian anarchists led by Arcangelo Cavadini and Luigi Bertoni to smuggle German-manufactured bombs, weapons and poison into Switzerland and Italy in the summe

In view of Stuart Hall’s challenge issued in the wake of the 1985 Broadwater Farm riots, this essay aims to locate issues of precarity, racial injustice and rights in Alex Wheatle’s East of Acre Lane (2001) and The Dirty South (2008). Set on council estates in urban areas of London in 1981 and the early 2000s, respectively, these two novels represent and respond to continual legacies of colonialis
